Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including the procurement of the PSO bus fleet.
The issue raised is an operational matter for the NTA in conjunction with Bus Éireann and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the Authority and to the company for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
